Rescue animals Waffles the miniature horse and Hemingway the goose have an unbreakable bond. So unbreakable, in fact, that they must be adopted together.

The unlikely pair were rescued from a property in Bucks County, Pennsylvania along with two peacocks and nearly a dozen ducks, according to Good Morning America. Now, the horse and goose are living together in a barn stall at the Bucks County SPCA shelter.

"You normally see goats and goats together or horses and horses," shelter director Vanly Pearson told NPR's Morning Edition. "But you never see, like, a horse and a goose, I don't think. It sounds like a child book story to me."

Waffles is currently being treated for a minor infection, and Hemingway has been known to voice his displeasure when Waffles is taken out of their shared stall.

"He'll honk and flap his wings and let you know, 'Hey leave my buddy alone,' or 'You better bring him back,'" Cindy Kelly, spokeswoman for the Bucks County SPCA, told "Good Morning America. "They really seem to have this bond."

Once Waffles is cleared by his doctors, the pair will be able to find their forever home. The Bucks County SPCA shelter is currently accepting applications to adopt Waffles and Hemingway together. The adoption fee is $300.
